First thing is first... Love the effort... I always like seeing someone put in the time to do both Free Agency and a multi round mock draft... Well done.

Now on to the Pats...

Love the signing of Arthur Jones DT Ravens... Fills a position of need with a guy who has ties to the team through his brother. I liked him coming out of college, and now that he has developed, he would be a great player to sign so we could focus on other positions in the draft.

As for the draft picks for the Pats...

Not a big fan of taking an interior OL in the first round, but Yankey is the pick I would complain about least. We have done it before, with Mankins, but I think we have too many needs to have an interior OL in the first. Value can be found later in the draft, especially with Swanson and Richburg still on the board

I definitely think this is a draft where the Patriots move back and acquire picks...

HUGE fan of Jean-Baptiste in the second round. Long, athletic corner just scratching the surface of his DB potential... I think he will have a nice combine and will rise due to the en vogue tall corner in today's NFL, but if he falls to there in the second round, I would be pumped to scoop him up.

I would be fine with that in FA and the draft. Not bad work here._________________2013 Eagles Forum HOF

Very solid for the Titans I love the FA signing of Smith and Moreno....for the draft Lewan is fine but in but in the 2nd give us Dee Ford or Kyle Van Noy (dont need rb that early if we sign moreno)_________________
Props to Kempes ^

Bortles would be an excellent pick but after that the picks are horrible. We won't draft a RB with the first round pick we got for trading a RB. Alfred Morris was a 6th round pick. Ryan Shazier doesn't fit into a 3-4. Is he am OLB or ILB, because we need an ILB. I know those two players play at Ohio State, but it doesn't mean that Cleveland has to draft them. We have bigger needs at OG and WR. We can get a RB in the 3rd or 4th round and an IL in the 3rd or 4th round we have two picks in both of those rounds._________________

Was a fun look through... thanks for your efforts. I doubt SF can and will re-sign both Whitner and Brown... my $$$$ is on Whitner out of the two. Would be pleased to have Boldin back.

The draft? eh... I like Tuitt, so no major complaint. We don't see DL as a strong need though. I like the selection of Jarvis Landry. Not a fan of Robey though... would love to see Jimmie Ward from NIU selected there, since he's available. He can play safety and NCB for us._________________

The Gnat: It's tough to say what teams think of the top tackles. With a draft this apparently top heavy (unlike last year's) it won't be surprising to see most teams stand pat.

ninjapirate: Ealy's best fit is probably the 4-3 based on the player he is now. That said, we've seen countless 4-3 college DEs be converted to 3-4 OLBs.

Patsdood...1: Thanks. I think the Yankey pick comes at my skepticism at the Patriots going with a tight end in the first round. With the Patriots, I always consider how often they change their identity on offense. Although I do believe they will pick one within the first 3 rounds, I don't think they see the value in round one. They seem more of a "first thing's first" type team rather than a draft-for-this type team.

djw4bucs: Evans is a guy I like to get off the board as soon as possible. I think he's a really good player.

Eagles_808: Thanks.

ochocinco4pres: Nice catch, thanks.

Iceman88: That is a valid point.

Iceman88: I think Shazier wouldn't be bad in the 3-4. In terms of need, I have the Browns signing Decker so that crosses R off the early draft list.

tgmxd: I previously had them sign Byrd, but I think he may be tagged. It's tough to tell who else they would target. I'm not hearing a whole lot from them in terms of FA they're targeting but I do plan on adding a few more free agents in my next version.

oldman9er: Interesting. I feel like Whitner may be the odd man out then and Ward would make sense then in the top 2-3 rounds.
